Episode 110 - UConn's place in basketball history, Hurley and You Fine Listeners
April 10, 2024 19:52 - 31 minutes - 43 MBThe season is over and UConn was dominant. There's a ton of fun conversations to have about what this mean's for UConn's status as a blue blood. I'm confused at how that is even in question. But we also start out by giving our genuine thanks to all of you fine listers for supporting this pet project of ours. We cover the game as professionals and are true fans at heart. It's cool to be both of those things at the same time. Things to watch after we discuss this UConn team, at the 16:36 mark w...
Episode 109 - The Final Four Episode!
April 05, 2024 20:05 - 41 minutes - 57.1 MBThe Road to the Final Four ends here. So who do we got? Is it the dominant teams like UConn and Purdue destined to meet on Monday night? Or can Alabama or NC State knock one of these juggernauts off their perch? We talk a lot of UConn vs Bama in segment 1 and at the 11:15 mark we get more into Purdue vs NC State and Evil Bald Colin will relentlessly go after Zach Edey again. At 23:40 we turn the discussion to the coaching carousel and the wild week of roster construction (and deconstruction) ...
Episode 108 - Football Schools are taking down Blue Bloods!
March 29, 2024 15:43 - 41 minutes - 56.3 MBCan you believe this? In the first half of Sweet 16 games alone we saw Clemson knock off Arizona, and Alabama take down 1 seed North Carolina. Crazy. First segment we almost have a National Championship ceremony for UConn. Are we wrong? We'll still make them play it out. But my goodness they dusted SDSU. At the 10:48 mark we get into the Tar Heels' game. And Cormac Ryan kind of told us not to be critical of RJ Davis. But we might do it anyway. At the 21:58 mark we talk about how we didn't see...
Episode 107 - Golhke owns Kentucky and Samford's Block was ALL BALL
March 22, 2024 19:54 - 40 minutes - 56 MBLet the CBS college basketball theme play in your head all day long. This is a 100 percent genuine Tournament podcast. We are kids in a candy shop. After glancing at Northwestern surviving Florida Atlantic we go to the game of the night on Thursday with Oakland downing Kentucky and what it means. Those Golden Grizzlies can play. Then around the 19 minute mark we turn the attention to Kansas vs Samford. We listen to some crazy audio of Nick Timberlake saying that he was fouled (HE WASN'T) and ...
BRACKET BREAKDOWN - The Murky Midwest (And Final Four and Title picks)
March 20, 2024 21:34 - 12 minutes - 17.4 MBThis region has Purdue in it folks. And when you're a Purdue fan, you know you have to brace for failure and disappointment. I know that because of my Purdue parents and 44 years of not going to the Final Four. They're a one seed for a second straight year and they have some making up to do from last year. Do we believe in them this time? Find out, and find out who we have cutting the nets down in Phoenix. That's it for the breakdowns folks, now it's time to watch hoops until we drool! Enjoy it!
BRACKET BREAKDOWN - The Slippin' South
March 20, 2024 21:22 - 10 minutes - 15 MBIf you were wondering, our nicknames for these regions mean absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. Although, the Top 5 seeds in this region all bowed out early in their conference tournament. So maybe we're on to something. This one is interesting because of lovable underdogs like Vermont and JMU. Do we get crazy here? Check it out as we break down the South.
BRACKET BREAKDOWN - The Easy East (But not really)
March 20, 2024 21:19 - 9 minutes - 13.4 MBThat's kinda the ironic nickname for the region. You might notice that Evil Bald Colin and I couldn't even be in the studio together to do our next region breakdown. That's how it goes during March Madness. So here's how we see UConn's region going. What kind of trouble is facing the defending national champs? Do either of us have them being bounced before the Final Four? You should find out!
BRACKET BREAKDOWN - THE WILD WEST (and Jake Diebler gets the Ohio State job)
March 18, 2024 21:19 - 17 minutes - 23.3 MBJake Diebler news crashes our first Bracket Breakdown, but whatever! It's March Madness and crazy stuff is going on in college basketball. The full on West Region dissection starts at the 9:15 mark, and boy oh boy do I have a Sweet 16 sleeper waiting for you. Plus, we have a new employee here at the station and part of his training is to force him to jump on a college hoops podcast. Say hello to UNC fan Jacob Rhymer! Enjoy the podcast and listen carefully so your brackets can look nice. And r...
Episode 106 - Bucks Fall to Illinois and Holtmann's Back in the Big East
March 18, 2024 21:15 - 10 minutes - 14.3 MBThanks to Terrence Shannon Jr. turning on the afterburners and some of the worst and most unpredictable Big Ten refereeing you will see in a big time game, the Buckeyes late surge to The Big Dance came up short. They needed that win over Illinois to do it, and a 77-74 loss will be a tough pill to swallow. You get some of my reaction from my OSU Sports Network postgame show in the immediate aftermath in this snippet. And then in the 2nd segment we spend some more time on Chris Holtmann taking ...
Episode 105 - Kansas SUCKS and Conference Tournament Heaven
March 14, 2024 20:27 - 27 minutes - 37.3 MBHello hoops fans! We continue to live in this beautiful month of March where basketball is front and center everywhere you look. This is our time to walk tall. But not if you're a Kansas fan. I am a not so proud alum and I'm currently in my feelings with this team with how the last few weeks have gone. We also open up by breaking down how much we enjoy this week of conference tournaments and why. In segment 2 (14:29) we break down a HUGE head coaching position that just became vacant....Louis...
Episode 104 - Bracketology and Duke vs North Carolina!
March 08, 2024 19:06 - 40 minutes - 55.8 MBThe March Madness continues as we get closer and closer to Selection Sunday. We are jam packed in this episode. We first welcome on the senior writer for The Heat Check, Brian Rauf. Brian is based out of Raleigh so he knows Tobacco Road hoops better than anyone. And since we talked in depth on the Tar Heels last week, we get a read on who these Blue Devils are in advance of the big game part Deux. Then we have our friendly bracketologist on the show again, the Big Underdog! You can tell this ...
Episode 103 - WELCOME TO MARCH! (Too much Edey and zero-ing in on the Tar Heels)
February 29, 2024 21:32 - 41 minutes - 57.5 MBFolks, it's the March edition, even though we're dropping it on Leap Day. We start by rocking out to the beautiful month that we're embarking on. Then Evil Bald Colin takes us through his thoughts about Purdue star Zach Edey. Is he overshadowing some very deserving NPOY candidates that are just as worthy of the talk? Then in the 2nd segment our guy Dave Nathan from the Tar Heel Sports Network joins us to talk about RJ Davis' big game and North Carolina's March Madness potential. Dave does the...
Episode 102 - The Ohio State Coaching Search is On
February 22, 2024 22:29 - 40 minutes - 56 MBWhether the school will publicly talk about it or not, the Buckeyes are in the early stages of the search for its next basketball coach. We jump into it at the 16:15 mark. Names like Dusty May at Florida Atlantic, Sean Miller at Xavier and a couple Buckeye names in the NBA have surfaced. In the opening segment we take a look at the big games from the past week and talk about UConn's week. At the 10 minute mark we look at a team that might have wildly thrown away a shot at a Big Ten Title! And...
Episode 101 - Ohio State Makes a Move at Head Coach
February 16, 2024 19:35 - 41 minutes - 56.9 MBThis one is dominated by the news that Ohio State fired HC Chris Holtmann. We hear from Gene Smith on the decision to move on from Holtmann. We form our lists for Ross Bjork to consider for the position. We finish off the week looking ahead to the weekend full of games!
Episode 100 - Ohio U coach Jeff Boals, and the Bucks keep sliding
February 08, 2024 23:58 - 40 minutes - 56 MBHappy 100 to Mad About Hoops! We didn't even realize it was coming and sadly Evil Bald Colin is out in Vegas covering the Super Bowl and paying homage to Tark the Shark. The Buckeyes keep sliding and there was a super frustrating game ending from this week that we jump right into. Then I recruited some help on this pod in the form of Ohio University Head Coach Jeff Boals. The convo gets started at the 11 minute mark. Jeff was a long time Thad Matta assistant so he knows OSU hoops and he knows...
Episode 99 - Gigantic shorts and fantastic uniforms
February 01, 2024 22:31 - 41 minutes - 56.6 MBWe open the pod and wind up talking about some of the other schools that keep us engaged when our current team's season is falling off a cliff. That takes us to Big Sky country because we're sick like that. At 15:40 we dive into the Buckeye breakdown and talk about an element to this season that is more trying than just the losses on the court. And at the 24 minute mark we talk about some CBB drip. The baggie shorts, the uniforms that always caught our attention. What's the best? We actually ...
Episode 98 - Full on Buckeye Hoops litmus test with Adam Jardy
January 25, 2024 22:30 - 52 minutes - 71.7 MBThis one is juicy folks. If you are looking for answers as an Ohio State Basketball fan, we try to give them all to you in this podcast. Right after our opening segment that has some Dayton flare (we aren't trolling they're really good) we get with Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch and find out if this team can save it's season and go to the NCAA Tournament. The big discussion starts at the 18 minute mark. And in closing, maybe the best game to get to this weekend for Midwesterners who love...
Episode 97 - The Coaches of the Future
January 18, 2024 22:28 - 46 minutes - 63.7 MBLook at who just retired from our game in recent years. Giants of the sport like Coach K, Roy Williams, Jay Wright, Jim Boeheim are no more. So who are the guys in that next wave of great coaches in college basketball? Colin's got the list for you (27:14) in this episode so be prepared to know the future. We come right out of the gates talking about the current top coaches and we also hit on what those dominant UConn Huskies (9:45) are up to. They're following up their national championship b...
Episode 96 - Top 3 go down and Buckeyes hit Speed Bump
January 11, 2024 22:18 - 41 minutes - 57.5 MBIt's another week into January and conference play caught up with 4 of the Top 5 teams in the AP Poll. Purdue, Houston and Kansas all go down. You can throw Tennessee into the mix as well. We hit on the mayhem and what it means, and also check out the Wooden Award Top 25 player list. Then we get knee deep into the issues we've seen from Ohio State in their back-to-back losses (16:55). What are the real concerns and what are the overreactions? Then we take a look at some metrics that might not...
Episode 95 - Bucket Getters and Tiny Gyms
January 05, 2024 22:12 - 52 minutes - 71.7 MBWe have made it to Week 9 of the CBB season as conference play is here the rest of the way.

Then in Segment 3 (25:46) it's all about the beauty and mystique of tiny gyms and a smooth transition into our favorite bucket getters of all time. We thank Caitlin Clark of Iowa for turning the discussion to binge scoring. Then in ou...
Episode 94 - Discussing a Classic Matchup with Anthony Rothman
December 15, 2023 22:14 - 40 minutes - 55.9 MBAs if last week didn't bring the juice with monster non-con (and in some cases league play) matchups left and right....just take a look around. First off we have the Buckeyes playing UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic. And that's just a small part of a ridiculous weekend slate. From Arizona vs Purdue, to that game down the road in B-town. Anthony Rothman of The Fan went to Kansas and Indiana as a student. How incredible would that college basketball experience be? Anthony will tell us what it was...
Episode 93 - CBB Heats up with MONSTER matchups
December 08, 2023 23:34 - 52 minutes - 71.3 MBThe guys are giddy about some of the ball they were able to soak in this past week. Shaka Smart won the Shaka Bowl as Marquette pounded Texas. The Jimmy V Classic brought the heat. Four teams in the Top 20 went after it as the guys love what they see with Marquette standout Tyler Kolek. Then sick Evil Bald Colin takes a breather as Andrew Zoldan drops by to talk about the Buckeyes and some burning storylines in the sport. He's from the Drive the Lane Podcast as well as The Basketball Tourname...
Episode 92 - Holiday Hoops Heaven
December 02, 2023 01:30 - 47 minutes - 64.7 MBBoy oh boy do we dive into a lot on this pod coming off of Feast Week as we break down the team that won the Maui and sits at no. 1 in the nation, Purdue (25:30). But we dive into a fun discussion in the first segment about how new TV platforms enhance our experience as CBB fans. We also talk about the one thing that quickly becomes a thorn in our side a couple games into a new season -- the REFS!!! The Duke at Arkansas game was a Banger (13:15)! The Buckeyes won a holiday tournament and we b...
Episode 91 - The Final Four Picks are IN!
November 10, 2023 23:11 - 34 minutes - 46.7 MBWe finally have some real basketball to talk about and as we head into Week 2 we deliver our Final Four picks as promised. I will tell you, between the two of us there are eight different teams, and only one Big Ten team. That Big Ten team is not who you expect. We jump into some Buckeye action right off the top of the pod, then the Final Four picks hit you at the 7 minute mark. At the 23 mark we hit some Mid Major flavor. You will not believe how an Ohio school lost a game recently. Then at ...
Episode 90 - The Season is back but Bobby Knight is gone
November 02, 2023 20:28 - 43 minutes - 60 MBIt's a different kind of season preview with the passing of college basketball icon Bobby Knight.

Episode 89 - The last Weekend of the Year
March 31, 2023 18:31 - 47 minutes - 65 MBThe college basketball season is a long and winding road. Funny, the marketing people at the NCAA think the same thing. That's why they call it the road to the Final Four. But we've made it there and we spend the better part of the first two segments talking about San Diego State, Florida Atlantic, UConn and Miami. We talk about why we both enjoy this mix of teams. At 23:45 we discuss another spin of coaching carousel. Penn State, VCU and George Mason all come up there. And at 34:50 we dazzle...

March 18, 2023 14:05 - 39 minutes - 54.5 MBThe NCAA Tournament is completely off the chain and it only took it until Day 2. First it was Arizona losing to 15 seed Princeton. Then Purdue said, Hold my beer.
